Huge corporation fell all over themselves to send millions in 2020 to get in on the political correctness train. They got the tax benefits so they could care less where it went. Unless they are connected by name to a fraud, they will watch those funds go into certain people's pockets. Beyond paying for shirts and signs, I have no idea what good they ever did. From their website....
But did they EVER "take action" against the same people getting cut down daily in those Democratic cities? Not a peep. All they do is organize GoFundMe sites to get money....but none of their own. Odd that some states have such an interest in the NRA and their finances but not with these frauds? | |||

I'll bet the rev. jackson and sharpton are fuming mad they didn't get in on this | |||

From the headline I thought millions had died in a shipwreck. What a disappointment. | |||

I don’t know the answer to your question. There is at least one outfit (guidestar) that verifies that a non-profit is in good standing. Community Foundations (and probably other foundations) use guidestar as part of their due diligence to insure they are giving to a valid charity. In a just world, I’m not sure that donors who used established procedures to make sure a non-profit was in good standing should be penalized. I could certainly see heads rolling at the IRS for not doing their due diligence, but we all know the chances of that happening… | |||

Actually, I would prefer that the money be stolen. Just think of the potential harm avoided due to the money not being available for BLM "activities". | |||

Very good point. I also take some Schadenfreude in BLM's donors feeling like they got screwed. I think my sister is one of them. | |||

This whole thing is more complicated than it appears . BLM is actually a conglomeration of many different organizations . A Global Network is what they call themselves . They are not a charitable organization themselves . All donations are funneled through a " legitimate " charity called ActBlue . | |||

| Why don’t you fix your little problem and light this candle  |
Isnt ActBlue just a service website? This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it. -Rear Admiral (Lower Half) Joshua Painter Played by Senator Fred Thompson | |||

I'm going to settle for mild amusement I guess. Considering the money donated was not going to be spent in order to benefit one black (or any color) life, what changes if it was stolen? Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

| The Main Thing Is Not To Get Excited  |
There are enough of us here that are shocked and appalled at this totally unexpected turn of events that we could claim victimhood and stuff and get like money because our panties are in a bunch. Who's with me?  no wait, never mind.  _______________________ | |||

The bright side of this story is that the BLM leadership is probably pillaging their own treasury to live the lifestyle of the rich and famous -- to the point where they won't have much money left to sow mayhem, support the election of woke DAs, pay for murderers to get out on bail, etc. | |||

There's more enthusiasm for BLM amongst corporate HR Depts, the spouses of the wealthy and every university dorm room. All the heads within BLM have all run-off with truck loads of money, those affiliated with the leadership are rapidly distancing themselves from them, cocooning themselves in their own 1-person organizations. 
No surprise to see these two Leftist heavyweights involved. Before all this George Floyd-shit, Tides was one of the leading anti-gun financing operations in the country. While Bloomberg and Soros get all the headlines, Tides was one of the major partners providing financial and organizational advice to a variety of Leftist causes and 'activation partners'. | |||

These people are so full of shit...and then there's the dummies who are so gullible they'll either sign a check or, follow in lock-step preaching the message. After quitting BLM, co-founder Patrisse Cullors is healing: ‘I really thought I was gonna die’
